Alright I think that settles it for me then. Looks like I'm keeping the stockers till it gets warm and then retrofitting those to projector/hid.
There are some clear corners here and there on the web, but they aren't the good ones.
I put a bead of silicone along the edges of all my current lights where the lens adheres to the bracket. You can't even tell. If I have to get the crappy clears I will do the same to keep water out.
